A New Chapter at Pocono
NASCAR’s premier series has officially published the entry list for the 2026 Great American Getaway 400, the sole race of the year to be held at Pocono Raceway on a Sunday afternoon. The announcement confirms a full field of 38 competitors, of which 36 carry guaranteed charters and two spots remain open for emerging talent.
Among the open entries, 23XI Racing will field Corey Heim, while Live Fast Motorsports will enter Daniel Dye. Both drivers are set to make their first appearance on the 2.5‑mile triangular layout, adding a fresh narrative to the weekend’s storylines.
The most poignant change involves the No. 33 car, where Austin Hill will take the wheel for Richard Childress Racing. Hill replaces the late Kyle Busch, whose tragic passing has left a void in the sport, and his entry signals a new chapter for the team.
Pocono Raceway is renowned for its three distinct corners, a configuration that challenges drivers with a blend of high‑speed straights and technical turns. The track’s unique layout has long been a favorite of fans and competitors alike, and this year’s race promises to highlight that character once again.
Beyond the on‑track action, the event underscores the series’ effort to honor Busch’s legacy while introducing new faces. Fans can expect a weekend that blends tradition with fresh competition, setting the tone for the remainder of the 2026 season.
